GA Gov Brian Kemp's MAGA Republican running mate, Burt Jones, is an election denier, a fake elector in the MAGA election scheme to overturn the 2020 election, has been stripped of his committee chairmanship & is currently under investigation. #DemCast#DemCastGA
After the 2020 election, Kemp passed SB202, an ultra restrictive election law based on false voter fraud accusations. He also admitted it because he was “frustrated” with the election results. #DemCast#DemCastGA
Georgia law, SB 202, cuts the time frame for which voters can request & return absentee ballots, slashed the number & hours of availability of drop boxes, and made it a crime to hand out water or snacks to voters waiting in long lines. #DemCast#DemCastGA
As secretary of state, Kemp improperly purged 340,000 voters from voter rolls & put 53,000 voter registrations on hold — 70% of whom were Black. Kemp went on to win the 2018 election by 54,723. #DemCast#DemCastGA
Meanwhile, @staceyabrams has helped thousands of people register to vote and encouraged voters to go to the polls. #DemCast#DemCastGA
In 2020, Georgia voters flipped the state BLUE by electing @JoeBiden, @SenatorWarnock & @SenOssoff. Georgia can have a Dem governor too! The votes for @staceyabrams are there! Give her a follow & boost her posts so she can reach more potential voters & WIN! #DemCast#DemCastGA
Today is the biggest moment in the history of DemCast with the addition of Senator @DougJones to help lead our messaging & strategy, gun safety hero @fred_guttenberg, and youth activist @santiagomayer_.
You’re probably wondering how this happened and why, so we wrote a thread.
For too long, extremism & anti-democratic sentiment has run rampant on social media.
We’ve been too polarized to even pass meaningful gun safety legislation.
